Hello, this is my first attempt at creating an "SCP". I am simply asking for an opinion on content etc. as I realize that my grammar and spelling in many situations is not correct. Criticism is welcomed and greatly appreciated. (Also, am I using the format correctly?)

Special Containment Procedures: [SCP-XXXXs are to be held in an air tight SCP containment cell. The subjects are to be fed two meals a day per subject. The meals should contain the average amount of calories, fat, etc that a normal human being would eat in a day. When entering the subject’s cell, you must wear maximum level air tight hazard suits with a gas mask and an oxygen tank as the air inside SCP-XXXX’s cell is hazardous. SCP-XXXXs are occasionally violent. It is entirely unpredictable to be sure when they will attack. The use of stun guns to immobilize the subjects is authorized. In the event that you are attacked and your suit rips, you are to remain inside the containment cell. The cell will then be locked down. 2-3 hours later you will begin to experience the symptoms. After 5 hours, we will no longer be capable of communicating with you, and you will be classified as an SCP-XXXX.]

Description: [SCP-XXXXs are simply victims of a rare disease that was uncovered in Africa in the year 1989. The first sighting of the condition was in a 5 year old girl named Cassy. Cassy and her mother had gone to Africa on vacation from England. They stayed in Africa for almost 3 weeks. One day, Cassy began to feel ill. At first, she reported to her mother she had a severe headache. Her mother recorded her temperature. Her body temperature read 106.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Cassy began to sweat a large amount, dehydrating her body. Soon, do to dehydration and extreme fever, Cassy’s brain began to break down. Within hours, Cassy was near death. By this time, her mother had taken her to the nearest hospital, but no matter what they did they could not break Cassy’s fever. As soon as Cassy reached a point where her death was imminent and she could no longer speak, or function in any way, she began to come back. This was do to an inactive gene in her DNA suddenly becoming activated by the scattered and scrambled waves of her brain. Her body began to rebuild the brain cells that were damaged. Or… her body attempted to. Instead it produced large cancerous masses in her head. The cancerous masses spread throughout her body to the point they were visible from outside her skin. Her body did manage to repair her brain cells correctly to a point she could make vocal noises and walk. Within hours, all the doctors who had interacted with Cassy began to experience similar symptoms. Within a few hours of the hospital staff being overcome, the SCP foundation was contacted. We breached the hospital and subdued all infected personnel. The infected personnel are now being housed within our facilities. Communication with them has proved impossible. Originally, they were all to be exterminated, destroying the disease, but we were directed by ██████ to keep the disease alive… perhaps the ██████ have a use for it. Perhaps they wish to use it for medical research? Perhaps biological warfare?

Please leave your opinion about the content of this SCP as it is greatly appreciated. Criticism is welcomed. I realize that my grammar and spelling has many flaws as this is just a rough draft.

Whenever you need to tell a story with personal details - \\"Cassy and her mother had gone to Africa on vacation from England. They stayed in Africa for almost 3 weeks. One day, Cassy began to feel ill."\\ etc. - try putting it in an interview log.

Have Cassy's mother interviewed by the Foundation, and have her tell the story in her own, non-scientist, non-bureaucrat way.

What the hell is with the brackets? That is most certainly not part of the default template.

Your overall tone is awful; this reads more like a Hollywood movie trailer transcript than a scientific document.

Your containment procedures are full of useless minutiae as further explained in this essay.

"Foundation" should always be capitalized. Referring to the Foundation as "SCP Foundation" is uncommon, though.

Self-inserts are generally frowned upon, especially when it's as obvious as "McWidget".

You have some really bogus scientific terminology going on, and when I dig through all the fluff, I'm left wondering whether this is even anomalous; it's not really all that interesting compared to the real-life pandemic-potential viruses that exist.

Ok well thank you, I'm glad that you actually read it and responded so quickly. Honestly I was not suprised to get a negative review as it was rather generic work and I myself would overlook it if I came to it when going through SCPs. Honestly I was just dying to make a first post. So you are the owner/creator of all of this? Or just an admin?

Neither. The SCP Wiki is a collaborative effort and doesn't have a single creator or "owner", and I am just a moderator who happens to be part of the senior staff Forum Criticism team.

I won't criticize you for being enthusiastic; that's a good thing, but a lot of work goes into SCP articles. For every one that you see on the site today, 3 more have been deleted for not meeting our standards. If you're relatively new, then I suggest reading more articles to get a better feel for what we expect, especially ones that are tagged with virus or contagion.

I would also suggest reading more of the guides and essays on the Guide Hub, as various site veterans have spent a lot of time putting those together for your benefit.
